Heuschert-Laage D. The Role of Oaths in Seventeenth-Century Manchu-Mongolian Political Culture // Mongolica. Том XXIII, 2020, № 1. СПб.: Петербургское Востоковедение, 2020. С. 10—17.


Oaths were an important component of Mongolian political culture and their significance in indicating the binding character of an allegiance is already attested in the Secret History. In the early 17th century, when the Manchus were expanding their power base in Inner Asia, they frequently made use of oaths. Even after the Qing capital was moved to Beijing, oaths were important for binding the Mongolian nobility to the imperial house. For the time before the 17th century, information on performative aspects of oath-taking is scarce. Archival records on Mongolian-Manchu relations in the 17th century, however, contain plenty of information on diplomatic preparations, the specific language of oaths and the staging of oath-taking ceremonies. There is evidence that the fundamental idea of a conditional self-curse, which called punishment on the swearing person if he or she broke a promise, was known to all participants, but details of implementation varied. The paper investigates the Mongolian terminology for oath-taking practices and draws inspiration from recent works on ritual theory. On the basis of 17th century archival material, it draws attention to the dynamic character of oath-taking and argues that it involved both individuals and groups. By exploring narratives which evolved around Manchu-Mongolian oaths as political landmarks, the paper sheds light on oath-taking as a cultural practice.
